The rest of step 5 of the way off eudplib (docs/v4-plan.md: "The game read as a value on our own backend", "Locations, players and latches on our own backend"). Follows #44. Step 5 is done but Wait, refused on purpose (in a program it holds only its own trigger and takes the player's wait from Transmissions; a program waits with sleep()).

Part 3: the game read as a value. One player's deaths, kills, ore and gas, and memory() at a known address, are read where the game keeps them: a masked condition a bit, starting at the highest group of 8 bits the value has. Anything else (group sums, Command/Bring counts, score, clocks, opponents) asks the condition a bit at a time, its amount a place of what has been found so far. Race, slot and supply come from the player tables. A read compared with a value is the condition itself (minerals(P1) >= cost is Accumulate at least cost, its amount a place of cost), so there is no read at all.

Part 4. centerLocation is four Set Deaths into MRGN, each amount a place of the side; without a size the sides are read first. A print to P1–P8 or All Players is Display Text with each one the current player in turn, which needs none of the map's settings. rose()/once() use a latch per place in the script.

Part 5: prints at the centre, as eudplib's f_eprintln. "Cannot create more units" is raised with the free-unit pointer read, zeroed and put back; on the target's computer only, the text is written into the error line, which is the template itself.

Ledger

Step	Before	After
5	154 / 195	197 / 198
7	1 / 22	1 / 24 (hasLeft and a force print moved here: they need the map's slots)

Four rows of steps 6/9 build now and were relabelled step 5: screen library (it was waiting on centerLocation), and two instance scripts that were refused only for TrigScript's warning print to All Players; both agree with the simulator.

Lifted game, ms (ours / eudplib)

Probe	Ours	eudplib
own-reads: 200 ore reads	0.129	0.219
own-reads: 200 unit counts	0.102	0.418
own-reads: 200 minerals(P1) >= j * 10	0.012	0.248
own-locations: 200 moves	0.036	0.061

Every line of probes/own-reads.ts and probes/own-locations.ts is the same in both builds. The centre print is on line 12 in both, and so are prints to P1/P2/All Players.

For Remastered: probes/own-step5.ts (copied to Maps/TrigScript with an answer sheet): the centre print, Transmissions in a loop, a print to every player, counts after Create Unit, a moved location. Not played yet.

Found (in the plan's Open list): a condition kept in a const is asked where it is used, not where it is written (both builds).

Suite 1258 pass.
